Did I over-engineer my note-taking process? From the outside, probably. But I've tweaked my system overtime so I spent less time fiddling with it and more time writing and producing creative work. I take lots of notes using Obsidian and organize the notes by tagging with keywords. Overtime, the notes clutter the entire system and I find it difficult to keep track of the notes. Instead of abandoning this particular tool — moving from one tool to the next deludes us into thinking its a tooling problem — I decided to track some key metrics[0] around my note taking system, the metrics serving as a feedback loop. Ultimately, my goal of note taking is not to take notes: it's to publish writing. To that end, I've designed a note taking system that I consider to be as simple as it can be.
